Our family really likes the Big Top Tent. It's a place we often stop in MK to cool off and get a slushie. I'm excited about it reopening.

Looks like they're either cleaning the tents or applying a sealant on the tents first. I wonder if they will paint them eventually. It almost seems like replacing the material might be easier but I'm sure far more costly. I know the material isn't like actual tent material, these are laid over top a rigid frame but who knows.

It this a pretty good sign that they are finally re-opening BigTop?

It's a sign that they're not planning to tear the location down.
I'm sure it'll reopen but I wouldn't take this particular development to specfically mean they're planning to, soon.
Instead, it seems like they're taking advantage of the closure to do work that might be harder to do with the location actively in use by guests.
That said, as it's retail, I'm sure Disney is as eager to open it as you are to have it open, when they can staff for it.

Having lived in a teepee made of the same canvas used for large tents, my guess would be waterproofing. (Indoor fires achieve that in a teepee, but I can't imagine Disney is willing to have that in Dumbo's Circus tents on the regular.
)
It is indeed paint.
